Gecko OS mod

[James0x57]

Codyk: If you set the hook and turn the debugger on in the options, it will connect after you start the game.

Maybe the wrong memory card slot? This version only supports the 2nd slot. If i had a modified version of the new code handler, then you could use both.

Does anyone know how to use gamecube codes through it? Do I use the VI hook? Which IOS do I use to install the MIOS v4 and the Trucha bug with?

[Codyk]

WiiPower im not a idiot ive made my fair share of codes i know where the usb gecko codes im just saying things like this isnt loading ill keep trying till i figure it out

[goemon_guy]

I am having the same issue : WiiRd doesnt connect using this. It just keeps looping the Connection Reset. I have Debugger set as 'ON' and GC Hook as "VI." So how do I make WiiRd work with it?

Wow, nice job. It works just like a merge between Gecko and AR. :) I wasn't sure sure which IOS to use for the cMIOS thing, so I guessed and used IOS249. :-X It worked though, and, after a couple of option guessing, got it to boot Twilight Princess with codes. I already had the IOS36 as IOS236 from something else, too.

I hope this works with Wave Race, Metal Gear Solid, Star Fox Adventures, and LoZ: MM. Those games seem to have a problem with the ARMax's "hook" or boot method or something.

BTW, same limit as normal Gecko OS? 255 lines only?

Hmm, maybe i should have asked the most obvious directly: Did you install the cMIOS? I said i won't write a guide(i suck at it), so somebody else should do it.

Star Fox Adventures and LoZ: MM shouldn't work. I can't get Starfox Adventures to boot at all even without hooking, always read error. I think it's related to audio streaming, and i get the same for Eternal Darkness and Zelda Ocarina of Time/Master Quest. And i guess you have Majora's Mask on a games collection disc? Such discs have multiple .dols, and this only patches the hook in the 1st one, the one used for the menu.

If somebody tells me how to actually load data from a gamecube disc in wii mode, i could try adding alternative .dol loading for gamecube games, which might allow hooking into games on game collections

[goemon_guy]

I did install the cMIOS. The games still do not load with WiiRD or GeckoDOTnet.

Does it say "hook patched" for about 1 second?

[goemon_guy]

It says it for quite a bit, then it says Enable Audio Patching

[WiiPower]

Ok, what games are you trying? Maybe i have one of them and i can test if it's the game or something else.

[goemon_guy]

I've tried Metroid Prime, and Pokemon XD. Pokemon XD doesnt even load with it, and Metroid Prime loads and everything, but WiiRD is unable to communicate.

I could also test another game, if you want.

EDIT:
Oddly enough, Super Smash Bros Melee works. Perhaps there are some games that are not compatible with the cMIOS?

I just tried Metroid Prime and it doesn't work for me as well. But it's detecting something, i guess another hook might work better, but i'm not sure. The cMIOS is more or less unrelated to compatiblity, it should all depend on the loader when running gamecube games.

[goemon_guy]

Ah, Well I tested a few more games.

Metroid Prime (GM8E01) -  Wiird Incompatible, but game is playable.
Smash Bros Melee (GALE01) - Works and Hooks right. WiiRD compatible.
Pokemon XD (GXXE01) - Doesnt load at all.
Animal Crossing (GAFE01) - Loads and Hooks.
Zelda: OoT/Master Quest (D24E01) - Brings up Error after loading. No Hooks

Also, I had another cMIOS that I used for the Gecko OS GC disc, and it loaded Metroid Prime perfectly. If that helps in any way.

Do you get any text in Metroid's main menu? I thought it's playable with this cMIOS, what's different with the other cMIOS?
